It Never Got Weird Enough for Me

PS4 Share Play May Be More Limited Than Expected

Sony’s yet-to-be delivered Share Play was one of the most impressive features of the PS4 shown at launch, but is still without a delivery date. However, some additional details have come out.

Some of these limitations are not that big of a deal, but some do seem a bit annoying.

You can be in a Party with 8 people, but Share Play can be done only with one of them at the same time. The rest of the Party won’t be able to see the screen, but will still be able to chat with host and guest.

When the host is visualizing any other screen than the game being shared, the guest is shown a “stand by” screen.

The Share Play time is limited to one hour, and the remaining time is visualized in the party screen, but you can start a new session immediately after the one before expires.
